Back to school About This Page:

Okay all you parents, kids & teachers.. when do you go back to school??
For us it's August 28.. only 3 weeks from today! on one hand I'm saying Where did our Summer go? ( HA! I know that answer~Baseball!!) & then when the kids are really on my last nerve I say " Aug 28h can't come soon enough"
I also found out last week that my friend & co-worker is having major surgery on her back & won't be back at work for the start of school..& for probably a couple months afterward (we are the only 2 cafeteria aides at the school) AARGH!!!! I dread starting the new year with a sub... especially when we've got to 'orient' the first graders. Fortunately, I can veto any choice of sub & get to pick who I want to work with... (at least I hope that's the way it works, I'd dread working with some of the subs we had last year!)
I keep saying to myself that's it's only 1-1/2 hrs a day.. I can handle it!!!

Our kids go back this Monday August 12th; but I have a friend in Texas whose kids started this past Monday August 4th [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] !

[LuvMK]

I "officially" go back tomorrow [img]graemlins/cry2.gif[/img] but of course I've been working on setting up my classroom for days now!

The kids go back next Wednesday, the 14th. [img]graemlins/read.gif[/img]

Summer can't be over - I haven't been to WDW!!! [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

Wow, that is so early!! I can remember always heading back the monday after Labor Day.

It does seem to me that they make the kids go back earlier every year and let them out later. We go back on Aug. 28 (used to be the day after Labor Day) and they don't get out next spring until the 12th of June. (used to be the day after Memorial Day which used to always be May 31-showing my age here [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] ) They initiated these longer years after a couple of winters in which the kids got a lot of snow days off and almost had to add days at the end. Of course, since then, we haven't had a snow of more than 4 inches that lasted more than a day.
We haven't had any days off for weather in the last three years at least. [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]
The school years still end the same...as the kids run out the door the teacher yells after them "World War II ended, we won!" (courtesy of "The Simpsons") [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Well I live in Alabama and teach in GA. Kids in Alabama went back to school this week. But I don't go back to work until Monday, Aug. 12 and the kids come back Monday, Aug. 19. So I have another week and a half before kids, but only 4 more days before I go back.

[GoofyMom]

I'll have to look it up on the kid's report cards, but I think they go back Aug.27th. Of course, they didn't get out of school until June 25th. And we never have snow days!

I'm enjoying summer holidays with my kids, but they are old enough now that they sleep in til noon and go to bed hours after I do (which will be coming to a screeching halt soon!) So basically I only have them around for the afternoon and evening! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/love.gif[/img]

Ariel starts school on Aug. 20. We live in a different district than Ron teaches in, so he doesn't have to report until Aug. 26, and his kids won't be there until Sept. 3.

[RobbiD]

My DD's start school on September 4th. The teachers report on September 3rd (contractually the teachers can't report before September 1st.)

I start school on September 3rd so DH is taking the day off to spend one last day w/the girls before the merry go round begins again. I registered for classes and will be there on Tuesday afternoons & Wednesday evenings. Yea!

[CRCrazy]

We go back Sept 3rd! The local fair runs on Labor Day weekend, from Wednesday through Monday, and all the 4H competitions would have no one in them if school were in session - most other districts in NH start the Wednesday before, etc. My youngest will turn 6 on her first day of first grade, it's the first time that has happens since the day she was born six years ago - That was her actual due date, and I told my doctor the one day I did NOT want to have her was that day, as my other daughter started first grade that day, and I wanted to take her to her class, and celebrate her day with her. The best laid plans ...

We get out on the 17th of June next year - this year we got out even earlier - the 13th I think. We are required to run at least 180 days, but they run all the teacher's workshops in the summer before school starts, so we take fewer days off during the year - we still get two spring breaks - Feb and April - so the kids get enough time off.

I start back Sept 3. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] I am so looking forward to going back. I am enrolled full time this semester instead of the part time I have been doing for the last 2 years.

My son starts school on Thursday, Sept. 5th. We still have almost a month of summer left. I can't believe how many of you start in August!! [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] That never happens in NJ. But he doesn't get out of school until June 24th. Unless we have no snow and they give back the built-in snow days and then it could be anywhere from June 20th to the 24th.

My girls start school on September 3rd this year. This is later then normal because they are building 3 new elementarty school buildings and the district wanted to make sure that there was enough time to have them completed before the beginning of the school year. I think the last day is suppose to be around June 17th.

[Fortissimo]

I had to look go look this up on our disrtict website:

We go back August 20th for our free donuts.

Student orientation for Kindergarten, grades 1, 6 and 9, and all new students is on August 26.

All students report August 27 to non-airconditioned buildings.

Students last day is June 5 and our last day is June 6.

Our district is implementing a Fall Break this year for the first time from Oct. 28 -Nov. 1. Students will have the full week, but we have inservice days on Mon and Tues that week. What the purpose of a Fall Break is is beyond my comprehension.

Depends on which school
the 18 year old starts on August 26th, (college)
The 9 yro started summer school this Monday, goes for 2 weeks, has 2 weeks off, then starts for good on August 28th (this school also has no early dismissals or half days)
the 4 yro- ?? the parent meeting at the preschool is not even scheduled until August 28th, and then we will find out, Probably the second week of Sept.
